About this map

The historic settlement of Scotchtown anchors the northern portion of this Hanover County landscape, where the Newfound River and South Anna River carve intricate paths through the rural terrain. The area is defined by its numerous river crossings, including Ground Squirrel Bridge, Gilmans Bridge, and Horseshoe Bridge, which connect a network of long-established country roads like Old Ridge Rd and Scotchtown Rd.

Residential clusters and agricultural operations such as Brookmeade Sod Farm are interspersed with smaller named locales like Negro Foot and Gilman. To the north, the Cool Water Airport sits near Oliver, while the interior is dotted with numerous small ponds and tributaries, including Pollards Pond and Stagg Cr. This map documents a transition point between preserved open space and modern land management in the Virginia countryside.
